New beta Nvidia video drivers 174.74

from Sins Forums
No mention of any fixes for Sins, but might be worth checking out.  Note: They are beta drivers, so be careful!

Cheers!

Just tried the new drivers - my game still locks up within one to five minutes of play - hope they get it right with the WHQL release!

the new beta drivers were causing my vid card to crash every couple of minutes thus i had to go back to an earlier version

These drivers don't address the Vista hang issue many people are experiencing in the forums. The temporary fix for most is to turn down all the settings from Highest to High and to turn off Bloom. That keeps me pretty stable but I still occasionally lock up. Stardock keeps saying that Nvidia is working on the fix and it should be out in drivers soon but it has been several months and several driver releases, still with no joy.

I'm on Vista Sp1, and installing these drivers seems to have kept me safe from the Vista hang/driver crash/minidump problems I was having before (knock on wood).

Hi gang,

If you're getting crashes or lockups with the new Nvidia drivers, please email me your dxdiag reports (bclair@stardock.com) or post them here.
